Sociopaths are people whose brains are ‘broken’ in curious ways – they tend to lack a sense of ’empathy’. They see the world populated by cardboard cutout figures, or department store mannequins, or, at best, robots. They tend to use them and dispose of them, depending upon their own degree of psychopathology. It may not be so surprising, that people with mild cases of sociopathy make very successful CEOs (the ramifications of that finding I will leave for another time).

The strategy that every country is using to deal with the Coronavirus is to step on the social ‘brakes” – social distancing and shutting down large portions of the economy. How fast or slow to apply those brakes is the only variable in our world today.

But, what if a leader of a country were a full out sociopath and had the power and will to do the unimaginable – to put the pedal to medal and hit the accelerator and race to that infection cliff and hope that there is another cliff on the other side that will offer a better chance to save the economy, and just kill some old cardboard cutouts…

Well, here’s an interesting YouTube video from a clever man showing his idea of what that would lead to:
